Croatia is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a marvelous country to discover. The fact is that for thousands of years Croatia has lured royalty and ragamuffins alike because of its spectacular 5,800 mile Adriatic coastline, amazing natural beauty, subtle Mediterranean ambiance, wonderful sailing, food and wine….and a history and culture that is endlessly fascinating and intensely celebrated.

We publish DiscoverSplit and other English language newspapers for tourists and they are all free!

If you come through Zagreb, the country’s capital and largest city with just over a million people, you’ll experience a superb walking city with Baroque charm. Head inland and you can go all the way to the Danube through gorgeous rural countryside and some of the best wine growing areas in Europe. Running like a spine down its coastline, the Dinaric Mountains define Croatia in spirit as well as geography. On one side the glorious sea and islands, fabled cities like Dubrovnik, Zadar, Split and Salona, the 3rdC capital of the Roman empire in Dalmatia teeming with 60,0000 people, today, a mostly un-excavated historic site. On the other side of the mountains, a quieter way of life that has endured for centuries here; ancient fortresses perched on rocky outcroppings; picturesque villages, endless valleys and Croatia’s most spectacular natural wonder, Plitvice Lakes National Park, one of almost a dozen UNESCO World Heritage sites here.

All the way up the coast, just two hours from Venice, is the Istrian peninsula, “the new Tuscany”.. Everything from truffle hunting and dreamy medieval hamlets to the faded elegance of Austrian royalty in coastal cities like Opatija.. The offshore islands here are wondrous. Wind your way south from the Venetian walled city of Zadar, through seaside towns that dot the coast on your way down to Split, you’ll see, feel and taste why Dalmatia is so spectacular.

Enjoy our site, our newspapers and our blog….and write to us, we love to meet people from all over the world!
